3 Reasons the Atlanta Falcons will beat the Carolina Panthers
By Nick Halden
If there is one thing that has kept the Atlanta Falcons watchable this season it has been an all-time easy schedule. Atlanta has played the Jets, Dolphins, Saints, Jaguars, and the Giants. This doesn’t include games the Falcons dropped to the Sam Darnold-led Carolina Panthers or the Washington Football Team.
Sure when Atlanta has played a real contender this season it has been ugly, but for now, at least Atlanta has remained watchable competing in the majority of their games thanks to a light schedule.
A schedule that will have the Falcons taking on the Panthers in a game where both teams will be attempting to climb back into the wildcard race. Carolina will be coming off of a bye week while Atlanta will be attempting to bounce back from yet another loss handed to them courtesy of one Tom Brady.
This week, however, there is a real reason for optimism against a Carolina team that has struggled badly this season after a hot start. The Panthers are a team that Atlanta can beat and one of the few possible remaining wins on the schedule.
While optimism may be at a new low after being demolished by Brady and the Bucs here are three reasons that Atlanta Falcons should be approaching this week with a measure of confidence.
